A hardy fisherman braves the massive waves

Porto Covo, once a tiny fishing port is now a swanky holiday town. We found ourselves underdressed and underfunded compared to the stylish Lisboetas. In one unassuming little shop, reminiscent of our corner shop back in the UK, we were amazed to find a bottle of port on one shelf going for the princely sum of €850! Said bottle dates from 1935 but remarkably this great vintage sits amongst the other cheap bottles of wine. We opted for a bottle of vinho verde close to the expensive port, but even closer to our budget of €6. We stuck to cheap activities like fishing and walking along the cliffs admiring the lillies which are starting their spring bloom. The colour of the sea in this area is amazing with lovely turquoise blues and bright white sands. The waves are also inspiring, but for their force, not beauty, and on a fishing expedition I managed to soak my iPhone in the wild water!  I can no longer dial any new numbers and my text messages come out weirdly … you have been warned!
